4 A. Mission

Advancing Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality through Innovation, Collegiality, and Mentorship

HE MISSION of the UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW) is Tto create and sustain a productive intellectual community dedicated to research pertaining to women, gender, and sexuality across all disciplines. Our multidisciplinary constituency includes UCLA faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and community scholars in Los Angeles, but also extends, through our conferences and programming, to scholars doing research on gender, sexuality, and women’s issues throughout the U.S. and around the globe.

We implement our mission through five interrelated strategies, including:

• Faculty and graduate student research through our Faculty Curator and Development Grant Programs, conferences, research working groups, workshops, and programs and through fundraising and grants to gener- ate intra and extramural funding sources for the support and implementation of that research; • Publication venues for the dissemination of scholarly research and networks for communication and research sharing to facilitate intellectual community; • Productive scholarly relationships within and beyond the academic community through our research, programming, and publications activities; • Recruitment and retention efforts at UCLA through workshops, funding, and development focused specifically on junior faculty and through the networks of support we have developed to improve climate issues for underrepresented faculty and students; and • Extensive support for graduate students through our Graduate Stu- dent Initiative, which includes a robust fellowship and grants program, research funding, professionalization workshops, programming, and employment.

Currently, CSW is fully engaged in all of these functions. Our mission has not changed over the past year. By refining goals and focusing on specific project-based fundraising, we have been highly successful in gaining new resources.

5 Annual Report 2013-2014 B. Summary of Accomplishments

1. Most Important Accomplishment

HIS YEAR, CSW’s most important accomplishment was the Tcompletion of the three-year NEH project, “Making Invisible Histories Visible: Preserving the Legacy of Lesbian Feminist Activism and Writing in Los Angeles.” All processing was complete, a reource guide was published, and a festive event featuring panels with presentations delivered by some of the participants in the project and a dialogue/Q&A with Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer and her lawyer, Mary Newcombe. Cammermeyer, a Vietnam veteran, Bronze Star recipient, and Mazer Archive donor, successfully challenged the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military. The NEH/Mazer project continues to make crucial contributions to the Los Angeles community, to UCLA, to the Mazer Archive, as well as to scholars and the public all over the world (Appendixes 1, 2).

The CSW network of 2. CSW’s Impact on UCLA faculty along with our events, projects, SW HAS AND CONTINUES to make a campuswide impact at and communications CUCLA. As our accomplishments this year indicate, CSW impacts the readily enhances the campus in multiple registers, which include fostering original research in campus climate and north and south campus through research projects, events programming, quality of work life publications, and direct funding to scholarly research; enhancing campus of UCLA. climate; and providing a variety of support programs for junior faculty as well as graduate and undergraduate students. All of CSW’s initiatives are structured to have broad reach and impact across the entire campus, through interdisciplinary research projects that bring together scholars and graduate students from diverse backgrounds such as the Life (Un)Ltd project, to grants-based research that employs multiple graduate students in their fields of endeavor, to faculty grants such as the Faculty Curator Grant that supported Prop Q: Queer Performance and Politics, and graduate student grants and fellowships. The CSW network of faculty along with our events, projects, communications, and fellowships, such as the junior faculty manuscript workshops, readily enhances the campus climate and quality of work life at UCLA for both students and faculty.

7 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

URING THE LAST ACADEMIC YEAR, CSW identified the Dfollowing goals as part of our strategic plan. Following each item, we will report on our progress this year in relation to each specific goal. We will then detail our progress on our ongoing and new projects: 1. Complete final year of NEH/Mazer project

HE COMPLETION of the “Making Invisible History Visible” project Tincluded the addition of an oral history component, the execution of a capstone event featuring Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, and the publication of a resource book. 2. Continue Faculty Manuscript Workshop

HIS PROGRAM supports the professional and scholarly development Tof UCLA junior faculty who are doing innovative scholarship in any discipline that focuses on CSW mission areas. It supports their research through mentorship across generations. The donor for this fund, Dr. Penny Kanner, values feminist scholarship that pushes beyond traditional historical frameworks to open up new areas and approaches to research. Junior faculty completing their first monographs compete for funding to bring in two senior scholars in their area to review and advise on the manuscript in a workshop setting. The junior scholar will also have funding for a UCLA graduate student assistant working in their area, who will attend the workshop and assist in its implementation. Through this process, the graduate student will be mentored in kind. This year, with support from the Dr. Penny Kanner Next Generation Fellowship and the individual departments, CSW organized and held two workshops: Professor Louise Hornby, Depart- ment of English, and for Professor Anurima Banerji, Department of World Arts and Cultures.

Winter Workshop: Louise Hornby

Held on January 17, 2014, the spring workshop featured Louise Hornby and her mentees, Justine Pizzo and Adrienne Posner. External readers included Professors Susan McCabe, Department of English, USC, and Mark Goble, Department of English, UC Berkeley. UCLA faculty included Michael North, Department of English; James Goodwin, Department of English; El- eanor Kaufman, Departments of English/Comparative Literature; Kathleen McHugh, Departments of English/Cinema and Media Studies; and Nina Eidsheim, Department of Musicology.

Louise Hornby LOUISE HORNBY is Assistant Professor of English at UCLA. Her manuscript, “Still Modernism,” is about the critical purchase of photography in the context of the invention of motion pictures in the early part of the 20th century. It is an interdisciplinary project, drawing from the fields of film studies, literary studies and art history. Since the workshop, Hornby has been making substantial revisions to the manuscript, which she will send to Cambridge University Press this fall.

JUSTINE PIZZO is a doctoral candidate in the English Department and works closely with Professor Hornby with whom she shares an interest in literary representations of climate. Justine’s dissertation, “Solid Air: Victori- an Atmosphere and Female Character in British Fiction 1847-1893,” focuses on the intersection between nineteenth-century meteorology, female embodiment, and literary form. An essay derived from a portion of this project recently appeared in Victorian Literature and Culture (March 2014).

ADRIENNE POSNER is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Com- parative Literature, where she works on topics relating to the intersections of nineteenth-century novels, the history of photography, and conceptions of race and racial representation.

Professor Hornby had this to say about the importance of the workshop to her career development:

I participated in the Kanner Manuscript Workshop during my third year at UCLA. The timing of the workshop was critical—it happened in ample time to make substantial revisions to my book manuscript prior to 9 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

sending it out to publishers later this year. Following the workshop, I have continued to discuss the book at length with other faculty participants, strengthening the mentoring ties within the department and engaging in deeper conversations about the work. The workshop has been a pivotal phase in the book’s development and in my own career as junior faculty.

Here’s what Justine Pizzo, one of the student mentees, said about her experience at the workshop:

It was an honor to be involved in the Kanner manuscript workshop. Dis- cussing Professor Hornby’s “Still Modernism” enabled me to gain a better understanding of revising a book-length project. While I have been fortunate to have a great deal of guidance from my advisors on how to prepare article manuscripts for scholarly journals, in-depth discussions of longer revision and publication projects have not been an integral part of my graduate career. As I move toward completion of the Ph.D., it was tremen- dously helpful to gain a better sense of the research expectations for tenure-track faculty. The opportunity to see Professor Hornby as a writer-in- process, as well as an established scholar, helped me think about my own writing as part of a similar professional endeavor. So often the revision we do, unlike the publishing we do, is conducted privately. Participating in a discussion about process as well as product helped me better conceive of the ways in which graduate work is much like post-graduate work. Ph.D. candidates seldom have the opportunity to hold these types of discussions with our mentors and I am grateful to the Center for the Study of Women for making this supportive and rigorous exchange possible.

According to the other student mentee, Adrienne Posner,

The Center for the Study of Women’s Kanner manuscript workshop provided me with valuable insight into the process of developing a manuscript. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in and ask questions about the complicated process of working on and editing a lengthy project, and also for the opportunity to meet other scholars whose work is conceptually and thematically related to my own interests.

Spring Workshop: Anurima Banerji

Held on June 2, 2014, the spring workshop featured Anurima Banerji and her mentee, I-Wen Chang. External readers included Partha Chatterjee, Professor of Anthropology and of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies, Columbia University, and Parama Roy, Professor of English, UC Davis. UCLA faculty included Susan Foster, World Arts and Cultures; Andrea Goldman, History; Akhil Gupta, Anthropology; Rachel Lee, English; Saloni Mathur, Art History; Uri McMillan, English; Sean Metzger, Theater; Aamir Mufti, Comparative Literature; Aparna Sharma, World Arts and Cultures; Jenny Sharpe, English; Jasmine Trice, Cinema and Media Studies; and Janet O’Shea, World Arts and Cultures.

ANURIMA BANERJI is an assistant professor in the Department of World Arts and Cultures at UCLA where she teaches dance and performance studies. She is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Women, Center for Performance Studies, and Center for India and South Asia at UCLA. She holds a Ph.D. from New York University in Performance Studies. Her essays and reviews have been published in EPW, Women and Performance, Journal of Intercultural Studies, e-misferica, Manushi, and Planes of Com- position: Dance, Theory, and the Global, a collection of essays edited by André Lepecki and Jenn Joy (Seagull, 2009). Anurima is also the author of a book of poetry, Night Artillery (TSAR, 2000) and trains in Odissi dance, a South Asian classical form. Her current research examines philosophies of the body in Indian classical dance and the relationship between dance and the state, using an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens that draws on postcolonial, queer, biopolitical, and feminist theories.

Professor Banerji shared her thoughts about the workshop’s value to her:

As a junior faculty member at UCLA, I found the workshop to be an invaluable resource in my development as a scholar and writer. My book- in-progress, Odissi Dance: Paratopic Performances of Gender and State, theorizes Odissi’s gender practices and the form’s changing relationship to state regimes over a large historical span, using an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens that draws on postcolonial, queer, biopolitical, and feminist theories. This is my first academic book, and the Kanner workshop came at the ideal time in my writing trajectory and career at UCLA. 11 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

The book is under contract with Seagull Books (distributed by University of Chicago Press), and the final version is to be submitted in Fall 2014. Prior to the workshop, I was at the stage where I had prepared the penul- timate draft of the manuscript and was ready to receive further comments from readers in different fields, integrate important revisions, and prepare the final draft for submission. It was also integral that I complete the manuscript in time to prepare my tenure dossier in Fall 2015. The Kan- ner workshop process assisted me in working towards both of these critical goals.

Through the Kanner initiative, I was extremely fortunate to engage with renowned scholars Prof. Partha Chatterjee (Columbia University) and Prof. Parama Roy (UC Davis), both of whom served as the external readers for my manuscript. It was a great privilege to have the opportunity to engage with them, as well as senior scholars at UCLA from a variety of disciplines - Anthropology, English, Comparative Literature, Political Science, Art History, Dance Studies, Film Studies, History, Theatre, and Gender Studies - to think through the ways in which I could strengthen my analysis and produce a textured account of Odissi’s histories.

Receiving their critical feedback has already enriched my work—their suggestions will, I believe, help me contribute meaningfully to my field and assist me in producing a strong publication. Within the parameters of the program, I was able to fruitfully resolve a whole set of theoretical conundrums, questions of method, and practical issues around structure and organization which arose during my writing process and which required resolution before the book goes to press. I was also able to expand my subject area knowledge through interactions with the scholars at my workshop.

Finally, writing itself is a solitary project, but I found that my project benefitted greatly through the kind of collaborative platform offered by the workshop. Hearing senior scholars’ perspectives on my work allowed me to explore methods and approaches with an array of experienced guides, which will also serve my future writing endeavours. Certainly, it will add to my toolkit as teacher, since I can share some of the workshop ideas with my graduate students as they embark on their own research.

3. Expand the Life(Un)Ltd. Project

HE BROAD AIM of the Life (Un)Ltd (hereafter “LU”) working group Thas been to bring together three groups of stakeholders: those interested in postcolonial and race studies, those doing feminist and queer theory, and those working in STS and medical humanities to develop a broad-based inquiry into the following questions: How do biotechnologies both ameliorate and produce new health disparities and augment the production of “expendable populations”? What effects have blood transfusion, tissue engineering, transplantation, IVF/gestational surrogacy, ES cell therapy, population genotyping, and experiments in nutritive milieu—to name just a few developments—had on feminist studies, especially those theorizing the circulation of biomaterials in relation to race and (neo)colonialism? Critiques of colonial medicine have made us aware of the way techniques of sanitation and public health have extended the imperial reach of white masculinity, and how colored and colonized bodies (and body parts) have been instrumental to the study of disease etiology and to the development of vaccines. How have non-normatively gendered bodies, poor women’s bodies, as well as gestational body parts served as opportune sites and sources for medical experimentation and the speculative contouring of life unlimited? What methods (historical mate- rialist, psychoanalytic, ethnographically realist, deconstructive, cybernetic/ systems theory) lend themselves to this feminist bioscientific critique? To what extent have feminist approaches to reproductive labor and childrear- ing (the emotional labor of cultivating human life) made connections with bioscientific research, practicalities, and ethics? Finally, how have literature and the arts shaped and reflected upon the biomedical imagination? To explore these questions, the Life (Un)Ltd project (LU) in AY 2013-14 has been active in several different arenas, which included curating a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal, hosting events with outside speakers, and facilitating workshops on relevant academic research.

13 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

Special Issue of a Peer-Reviewed Journal On October 14, 2013, Life (Un)Ltd sponsored a Roundtable and Launch Party to celebrate the debut of a special issue of The Scholar and Feminist, entitled “Life (Un)Ltd: Feminism, Bioscience, Race.” Rachel Lee, Princi- pal Investigator for the Life (Un)Ltd project, edited the issue. The round table featured contributors to the special issue—Michelle Murphy, Hannah Landecker, Renee Tajima-Peña, Lisa Onaga, Rachel Lee, Diane Nelson, and Lindsay Smith—and also three respondents—Laura Briggs, Jackie Orr, and Deboleena Roy. Three areas of research were highlighted in the volume and at the roundtable. The first section, Eugenic Legacies and Infrastructures of Reproduc- tion, was devoted to the evolving terrain of feminist STS research on select biomedical procedures. Continuing along these lines, section two, Cross- species and Cross-kingdom Enmeshments, confirmed that one cannot think the labor of reproduction and “generativity” without also thinking the non-human animal as well as the bacterial, insect, fungal, and horticultural microbiologies coassembled with the animal. Section three, Governmental- ity and Activism in Biotechnical Times, brought the conversation to grassroots efforts to use biotechnologies in feminist ways to counter histories of gendered and racial violence. The web address for the Life (Un)Ltd issue is: http://sfonline.barnard.edu/ life-un-ltd-feminism-bioscience-race/ (Appendix 3). 14 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

Lecture Series On November 5, 2013, Life (Un)Ltd sponsored a talk by Kim Tall- Bear titled, “Beyond Life/Not Life: A Feminist-Indigenous Reading of Cryopreservation Practices and Ethics.” Kim TallBear is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas, Austin. TallBear’s lecture was part of the Life (Un)Ltd project’s commitment to continued programming on indigenous, transnational scholarship addressing the impact of bioscience on First Nations. According to TallBear, the lines between life and not life, materiality and the sacred are not so easily drawn for some indigenous peoples, with implications for the ethics of the preservation and new use of old biological samples. More fundamentally, TallBear’s talk inter- rogated the underlying concept of “preservation” that emerges from non-indigenous institutions in the form of technological and policy practices. The talk suggested that such practices compartmentalize indigenous history, bodies, and landscapes into a historical before and after that undercuts the very idea of indigenous peoples and landscapes as fully alive today. On March 5, 2014, Life (Un)Ltd sponsored a second lecture titled, “The Gender of the Number, the Gender of the Card: On the (Im)materiality of Governance and Biometric Identity in India,” by Lawrence Cohen, Professor of Anthropology and South and Southeast Asian Studies at UC Berkeley. Cohen’s lecture was invited to speak based on his focus on gender non-conformist communities. Cohen has published widely on subjects including biocapital in human organ transplantation and trafficking, the socioeconomics and political capital of castration for hijras in North India, reading differing levels of male homosocial desire in secret literatures circu- lated during the Hindu festival of Holi in Banaras, and most recently thinking about the social similarities between the twin figures of the Buddhist guru and gay men through the idealization and fallibility of devotion.

Working Group CSW Associate Director Rachel Lee initiated a Life (Un)Ltd working group in Fall of 2011, bringing together twenty-five faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from public health, humanities, and social sciences at

15 Annual Report 2013-2014 UCLA to develop an interdisciplinary, feminist approach to developments in the biosciences that have effects on clinical practice, human rights, as well as philosophical and artistic practices. In 2013-2014, Life (Un)Ltd continued to host seminars to foster research and discussion. Nathan Ha, postdoctoral fellow and lecturer in Gender Studies, and Lowell Gallagher, Associate Professor of English, presented their work on October 2, 2013. Kim Tallbear presented her work on No- vember 4, 2013, on indigenous practitioners in the bioscences. Lawrence Cohen presented his work on March 5, 2014, before his public lecture (Ap- pendix 4).

Goals for AY 2014-15

• Write a transdisciplinary grant with co-PI’s Deboleena Roy (Gender Studies and Biology, Emory) and Banu Subramaniam (Gender Studies and Biology, U Mass) on the topic of “Variation, the Microbiome, Hox Genes: How are these Tools for Gender Studies Today?”

• Continue programming on the intersections of feminism, transgender, queery theory, critical race studies, transnationalism and bioscience.

• Explore avenues of collaboration with other local universities with com- plementary programming (for example, Claremont College’s Munroe Center for Social Inquiry is programming around the theme of “Virus” in 2014-15) and avenues of donor funding.

4. Continue Fundraising Initiative begun in AY 2012-13, focusing on donor relations and forming a CSW Advi- sory Board.

In 2014, the entire staff met with Dr. Myrna Hant, to discuss the development of advisory board. We are working on identifying possible members.

5. Enhance Intellectual Networks, Climate, and Communities

CSW has achieved this ongoing goal—to build, maintain and/or enhance intellectual communities, networks, and climate—through longstanding programs devoted to two of our most important constituencies, community research scholars and graduate students, as well as through our publications networks and public events.

A. Research Scholars

The CSW Research Scholars (Appendix 5) are Los Angeles–based independent and/or public intellectuals publishing on topics pertaining to gender, sexuality, and women’s issues. This program gives CSW a connection to the feminist intellectual community in Los Angeles and gives these scholars a connection to UCLA. Alice Wexler, a longtime scholar and prolific author, said recently:

CSW has been extraordinarily valuable to me in pursuing my research interests for the following reasons: first, it is given me access to a terrific group of feminist scholars at UCLA, both faculty and visiting or affiliated, who have been a continuing source of intellectual stimulation, knowledge, and inspiration. The talks, seminars, conferences, and media produced by the Center have been invaluable to me. Second, having an academic affiliation with CSW at UCLA has been important in facilitating my relationships with scholars in the fields of history of medicine, history of science, gender studies, and in the wider community of Huntington’s disease biomedical research and advocacy. And third, my affiliation with CSW “Huntington’s Disease in Popular Culture: has facilitated access to resources at the libraries on the UCLA campus, A Brief Historical Perspective.” Journal of as well as at other libraries, archives, and special collections which I have Huntington’s Disease 3 (2014): 1-4, is a recent used in my research and writing. And fourth, my affiliation with CSW publication by Alice Wexler, a CSW Research has facilitated interviews I have done in the past and am doing presently Scholar since 1994. in my current project. Altogether, I have benefited enormously from my Research Scholar affiliation at CSW which I have been fortunate to have over many years, and for which I am immensely grateful.

B. The CSW Graduate Student Initiative

In its twenty-nine years as an organized research unit at UCLA, CSW has advanced academic excellence in the study of gender, sexuality, and women’s issues by developing and fostering, among other things, innovative graduate student research through funding, programming, and employment opportunities. CSW has long supported and advanced the research and professional careers of graduate students at UCLA. In recent years, we have dramatically extended and formalized this support through targeted fundraising, innovations in programming, and the creation of new scholarly and professional training opportunities. CSW takes very seriously our role as mentor to the many graduate students from various departments and disciplines who do research in the areas of gender, sexuality, and women’s issues. The Graduate Student Initiative is our public commitment to promoting the professional success and academic excellence of graduate students at UCLA.

FELLOWSHIPS, GRANTS AND AWARDS CSW is dedicated to advancing graduate-level research at UCLA in the areas of gender, sexuality, and women’s issues. Our generous donors have provided CSW with the means to offer graduate students an array of award, grant, and fellowship opportunities. CSW provides awards for dissertation and scholarly excellence, fellowships for research, and a competitive bian- nual travel grant program. As Lauren Hanover noted:

Receiving the Elizabeth Blackwell, MD award has been enormously helpful in supporting my research. Being part of the CSW community has expanded the scope of my knowledge about important research being conducted at UCLA related to women and health from various viewpoints and disciplines. The award has facilitated my ability to focus more of my time and efforts on my research developing psychosocial interventions for women with breast cancer. I am so appreciative of the CSW community and the funders of the Elizabeth Blackwell, MD award for their support of my work.

Another award receipient, Cassia Paigen Roth pointed to the importance of all the opportunities that CSW offers to support graduate students in developing a career:

The Penny Kanner Dissertation Research Fellowship provides me with the crucial funding over the 2014 summer to continue to write my disserta- 18 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

tion without interruption. The funding also allows me to focus on polishing a chapter of my dissertation into a publishable journal article. CSW’s funding opportunities—whether travel grants, graduate student conferences, or fellowships—have been an indispensable part of my graduate student career. They have allowed me to present my work both at UCLA and at national and international conferences, dedicate my summer to research and writing, and have introduced me to a network of scholars working on feminist issues.

Yvette Martinez-Vu, a student award recipient this year and a past plenary presenter at Thinking Gender, identified the importance of the award for her career:

As a doctoral candidate with a year left in my program, the Constance Coiner Award will provide me with financial support during a critical stage in my academic career. It will ensure the timely completion of dissertation writing and filing. Specifically, I will be using the funds to offset the costs of attending academic conferences, such as the annual meeting for the Associa- tion for Theater in Higher Education (ATHE) in Scottsdale, Arizona. This national conference will allow me to strengthen a chapter in my dissertation by presenting a paper based on my work on gender performance in Mayan Mexican theater. Attending ATHE will also allow me to met and network with leading scholars in my field as I prepare to enter the job market.

CSW’s graduate student awards and grants are highly competitive and we solicit faculty to serve on these committees to maintain the integrity of the process. Faculty find this service work to be rewarding and frequently accept our offers to attend the annual Awards Luncheon in June to meet the recipients of the awards they judged (Appendix 6). These awards are also part of the intellectual community and dynamic environment that CSW provides in supporting research in our mission areas. Many of the recipients this year pointed to the importance of CSW’s Think- ing Gender conference in their academic career. The newest award developed by CSW to support innovative policy recommendations by graduate students and to provide additional mentorship opportunities for graduate students on campus is the Policy Brief Award. The award recipients are given the opportunity to work with CSW’s Managing Editor of Publications to fine tune their briefs into professional documents ready for dissemination. These briefs are then published as PDFs on the CSW website, on the California Digital Library and in a printed digest that is widely distributed to organizations and policy- makers with an interest in the topic. Though the award was only introduced in 19 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

2010-2011, the awards are quickly becoming prestigious and highly visible on campus. Altogether, the CSW fellowship, grant and award opportunities housed within our Graduate Student Initiative provided funds to 36 students in this academic year, ranging from $200 to $34,000. For a full list of awards and recipients, see Appendixes 6, 7, and 8.

THINKING GENDER CSW’s 24th annual graduate student research conference, Thinking Gender provided more than 80 graduate students with an opportunity to present their work to a diverse and interdisciplinary audience and receive detailed remarks from engaged moderators. Thinking Gender is a cornerstone of CSW’s Graduate Student Initiative, in that it provides graduate students doing important and innovative work in the areas of gender, sexuality, and women’s issues an opportunity to present this work in a highly professional, academically rigorous environment and receive constructive criticism from engaged moderators to enhance their research and presentation skills. Over 250 participants attended the conference this year to learn more about new directions and innovative research from a diverse group of young scholars in the areas of women, gender, and sexuality. See Appendix 9. Presenters at this years’ conference came from near as UC Santa Barbara and USC and as far away as New Delhi, London, and Hong Kong. A total of 36 institutions and 35 disciplines were represented throughout the conference. Multidisciplinary panels like “Homeland Insecurities: Domesticity, Gender, and Nationalism” and “Controversial Indulgences at Work, Home, and Play” enabled rich conversations across fields as diverse as anthropology, comparative literature, ethnic studies, and education (to name just a few). “Controversy” also emerged as a thematic concern across many presentations in papers such as those discussing fixed term Islamic marriage, the impossibility of queer desire, anarcha-feminist pedagogies, and so on. The faculty and research scholars who moderated each panel identified salient connections across papers, provided thoughtful feedback, and facilitated stimulating dialogue. Presenting in front of a packed room, the plenary panel entitled, “Somatic Pleasures and Traumas: Seduction, Senses, and Sexuality,” featured a diverse group of papers that problematized concepts of pleasure in issues of health, media representations, trauma, and colonial history. This year, CSW received much feedback from both Thinking Gender presenters as well as conference attendees. One presenter said that the most 20 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

positive aspect of participating in Thinking Gender was “As a first timer at Thinking Gender, I felt very welcomed by the team and Center for the Study of Women. It was well organized and very intellectually stimulating. Great job to the organizers and to CSW! I am lucky to have been a part of the experience.” Another commented, “It was a wonderful, scholarly experience. The presentations were well executed and thoughtful.” Many lauded the networking opportunities and feedback from moderators: “I really enjoyed being able to network between sessions.” The stipend provided to the Con- ference Coordinator Mila Zuo was supported by a private donor and provided her with valuable skills in submission management and selection, scholarly communication, conference logistics, and general organization. The Thinking Gender conference, seeks first to provide graduate students an opportunity to present their work in a professional and demanding academic environment with the intent to help them develop their professional skills. The second goal of the conference is to attract an audience of faculty, students, and the wider scholarly community with innovative and forward thinking research to foster the kind of academically rigorous environment that has proven invaluable to the graduate student presenters. Further evidence of CSW’s successful efforts to highlight innovative and interesting research at the Thinking Gender conference is the sustained interest in the research by the wider scholarly community well after the day of the conference. Downloads of the Thinking Gender graduate student papers from eScholarship Repository of the California Digital Library (CDL) continue to be very popular: 14,226 requests in this academic year and more than over 97,000 since the papers have been available on the CDL (see Appendix 10).

DISSERTATION WRITING RETREAT/WRITING GROUPS Graduate students who do research on gender, sexuality, and women’s issues can be located in many different departments and schools across the campus and may feel isolated. In an effort to bring like-minded scholars together and promote productivity, CSW organizes an annual dissertation writing retreat and ongoing writing groups. In addition, we have chat list- servs so that participants in the groups can communicate with each other throughout the year. Bringing students from different disciplines together creates a supportive environment where students can share ideas and come to see their dissertation topics from productive new angles. In addition, the retreat gives participants a rare opportunity to concentrate on writing, un- 21 Annual Report 2013-2014 C. Progress Report on Goals

interrupted, for three days. CSW provides meals and snacks so that writers don’t have to think about anything other than their work. The results are, by all accounts, enormously effective. This year, the annual weekend-long dissertation writing retreat took place from June 21nd to 23rd. As usual, it was all but overflowing with enthusiastic participants (unfortunately, some applicants had to be put on a waitlist because of space constraints). The retreat was open to any ABD students at UCLA. Home departments of the participants included Anthropol- ogy, Art History, English, Spanish & Portuguese, Theatre, English, History, Public Health, Sociology, World Arts and Cultures, Cinema & Media Stud- ies, Comparative Literature, and Theater and Performance Studies. With more than twenty-five participants, including recipients of CSW fellowships and awards, CSW arranged for a second room so that all the writers would have sufficient space. At the end of the retreat, participants discussed ways that CSW can provide additional support and help them achieve success in this crucial year. The feedback from the dissertation writing retreat is always extremely positive, and this year was no exception. In emails sent to CSW, attendees marveled at the amount of work they accomplished during the three-day writing group and expressed gratitude for the opportunity. One attendee reported:

I was encouraged by the other people working and by the structured breaks. Finally, working the whole three days enabled me to work up important momentum unavailable in short bursts, which is usually how I work. I am very grateful for this experience.

All reported substantial progress, and several stated that it would have taken them multiple weeks to accomplish all that they did during the three-day retreat. See Appendix 11.

C. Newsletter

AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD on the website as well as the California Digital Library, our highly regarded newsletter, CSW Update, continues to garner much attention on campus and online. On the California Digital Library alone, articles from our newsletter have been viewed or down- loaded more than 50,000 times, and the last academic year saw 10,618 views (Appendix 10). With the reduction in percentage time for the Man- aging Editor, we were forced to reduce the frequency of issues: four issues included reviews of events, research articles by award recipients, and interviews with faculty development grant recipients and visiting speakers. In addition, each month had an update on the progress of the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives, including information behind collections that were recently processed and digitized. See Appendix 12 for the contents of each issue. This year’s issues featured articles by and about faculty and students from these departments and schools:

D. Website and Social Networking CSW’S PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE and outlets reach the broader scholarly community in our mission areas efficiently and effectively. The website is CSW’s main point of communication to the broader scholarly community in our mission areas. From the website, users can subscribe to our listserv; view upcoming and past events; view news items; access both of our blogs, YouTube playlists, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and CDL sites; request cosponsorship for events; discover funding and other support opportunities; and read newsletter articles and access information about ongoing research projects. At base, the ease of use of our website has continually increased its functionality for our community and our staff. In the past academic year, CSW made a concerted effort to expand our online presence and scholarly network. By implementing various initiatives, such as adding a blog and other social networking efforts, CSW has diversi- fied and increased the venues through which we disseminate information on research, publications, and events related to our affiliated faculty, research scholars, award recipients, and our campus partners. These networks for communication allow us to expand and deepen scholarly relationships with and beyond the academic community. We continue to expand the audience for CSW-sponsored research and events.

VIDEOCASTS: CSW continues to record and upload videos of talks and presentations for archival use as well as for public view. Accessible through a new CSW channel on YouTube, CSW videos have accumulated nearly 65,000 views (Appendix 13). This year, we uploaded videos of Life (Un)Ltd talks by Lawrence Cohen and Kim TallBear, as well as the speakers— Jackie Orr, Laura Briggs, and Deboleena Roy—at the Life (Un)Ltd Special Issue Roundtable and Launch Party. In addition, we posted videos of panels at four of the Thinking Gender sessions.

BLOG: This year, CSW added a second blog on our website. Blog posts for this year number 65 posts by faculty, staff, research scholars, and students (Appendix 14). Topics have included new faculty member Renee Tajima- Peña, a summary of “L.A. Food Culture and California Farm Work” exhibit, a review of Strangers in a Strange Land: Art, Aesthetics, and Displacement symposium, and a regular feature on materials and collections from the

E. Policy Briefs

FOR THIS YEAR’S Policy Briefs, CSW partnered with Julie Elginer, a Lec- turer in the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, and chose “Women’s Reproductive Health Policy in California” as the theme. Five briefs were published: • Not a Third World Problem, by Laura Carter, a graduate student in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the Fielding School of Public Health • Improving Maternal Depression Screening & Treatment for Women Enrolled in Medicaid, by Echo Zen, a graduate student in the Fielding School of Pub- lic Health • Enhancing Access to Prenatal Care within the California Health Exchange, by Jennifer Frehn, a graduate student in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the Fielding School of Public Health • Achieving Universal Access to Contraceptives under Covered California, by Karen Lai, a graduate student in the Department of Health Policy and Man- agement at the Fielding School of Public Health • The California Health Exchange and Preventive Dental Services: An Essential Health Benefit Under Maternal and Newborn Care, by Katsume Stoneham, a graduate student in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the Fielding School of Public Health

Each brief will be available as a PDF on the CSW website and on the CDL. In addition, a printed digest of the briefs was distributed widely to local and national organizations whose work relates to the topic (Appendix 16).

3. Scholarly and Instructional Activities

This year we maintained our reputation for producing high-quality lectures, conferences, and workshops. In addition to the annual Thinking Gender conference and the symposium on the Cultural Politics of Seeds, CSW sponsored and cosponsored numerous events throughout the year. See Ap- pendix 17 for all the events and attendance figures.

Programming

Each quarter during the academic year, CSW organizes events that highlight and support innovative research in our mission areas. By making sure that our events reflect the research interests of many faculty and students at UCLA, we can feature important research and promote collegiality across the campus. In addition, we frequently build in time for students to meet with our speakers so that the students have a chance to develop relationships that will advance their career as well as their research.

LIFE (UN)LTD ROUNDTABLE & LAUNCH PARTY FOR SPECIAL ISSUE On October 14, 2013, CSW, the Barnard Center for Research on Women, and the Charles E. Young Research Library hosted a roundtable and reception to celebrate the debut of a special issue The Scholar and Feminist on Life (Un)Ltd. Featured in the issue will be essays by members of the Life (Un) Ltd. research working group and participants in the symposium on Femi- nism, Race, and Biopolitics held on May 11, 2012. Speakers included Laura Briggs (Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, U Mass-Amherst); Jackie Orr (Sociology, Syracuse University); and Deboleena Roy (Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology, Women/Gender/Sexuality Studies, Emory Univer- sity). Discussion panels included: On Eugenic Legacies and Infrastructures of Reproduction, with Renee Tajima-Peña (UCLA) and Michelle Murphy (U of Toronto); On Cross-Species Enmeshments, with Hannah Landecker (UCLA), and Lisa Onaga (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), and Rachel Lee (UCLA); and On Government and Activism in Biotechnical Times, with Diane Nelson (Duke U) and Lindsay Smith (University of New Mexico).

LIFE (UN)LIMITED SPEAKER: KIM TALLBEAR Kim TallBear is Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Uni- versity of Texas, Austin, and describes her research concerns in this way: “Cryopreservation enables storage and preservation of bio-specimens—including those taken from indigenous peoples’ bodies, often within earlier ethical and racial regimes—into times and spaces beyond those inhabited by the (once) living bodies. New bioethical responses are afoot. But when they emerge from non-indigenous institutions and philosophical terrain they cannot fully address indigenous peoples’ interpretations and ethical needs. I propose that indigenous responses to cryopreservation technologies and practices can be more fully understood not simply by recourse to ‘bioethics,’ but also by weaving together the approaches of indigenous think- ers historically with newer thinking in indigenous studies, feminist science studies, critical animal studies, and the new materialisms. This talk weaves into conversation diverse intellectual threads in order to help us understand how the lines between life and not life, materiality and the sacred are not so easily drawn for some indigenous peoples. This implicates how we approach from an indigenous standpoint the ethics of the preservation and new use of old biological samples. More fundamentally, this talk interrogates the underlying concept of ‘preservation’ that emerges from non-indigenous institutions in the form of technological and policy practices. Such practices compartmentalize indigenous history, bodies, and landscapes into a historical before and after that undercuts the very idea of indigenous peoples and landscapes as fully alive today.”

DIALOGUE ACROSS DIFFERENCE: PATRICIA GURIN Dialogue Across Difference, a new book by Pat Gurin, Nancy Cantor Distin- guished University Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan, is the synthesis of a three-year research under- taking focuses on “improving intergroup understanding, relationships and collaboration” (Russell Sage Foundation). The data provided by Dialogue Across Difference can be used as a model for groups beyond college settings, and mitigate collaboration hindrances. This book-signing event, held at UCLA, was important for our Bruin community and one that we know will be impactful as our college campuses continue towards addressing diversity in academia.

His award-winning book No Aging in India: Alzheimers, the Bad Family, and Other Modern Things, appeared in 1998. He is currently writing a book on homosexuality, politics, and commodity aesthetics, and on renal transplantation, the Indian market in organs, and the relation of the operation to modernity and development more generally.

THINKING GENDER: 24TH ANNUAL STUDENT RESEARCH CONFERENCE The annual conference was, as always, wildly successful, both in its academic rigor and its participation. We hosted student presenters from around the world including New Delhi, London, and Hong Kong. A total of 36 institutions and 35 different disciplines were represented in the conference. The engaging topics ranged from “Homeland Insecurities: Domesticity, Gender, and Nationalism” to understanding the roles that pop stars such as Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian play in popular culture at the intersection of the gender identities. The plenary session was stimulating and engaging for all the participants and attendees. 34 Annual Report 2013-2014 D. Research, Teaching, and Programming

CAPSTONE: MAKING INVISIBLE HISTORIES VISIBLE We celebrated the culmination of the 3-year project, a joint effort by CSW, the June L.

Lecture/Demonstration: He is My Wife, He is My Mother He is My Wife, He is My Mother is director Katherine Hui-ling Chou’s imag- inative 2009 adaptation of a 350-year-old short story about homosexuality, infused with lesbian and heterosexual undertones. Based on author Li Yu’s “Three Moves of the Male Mother Meng” the play travels from 1912 Fujian to the conservative society of 1950s Taiwan. A gender-subversive, morally challenging epic gay romance brews—can the genuine devotion between two men and a mother’s love for the child, transcending gender and blood- lines, change destiny? Chou focused her lecture on queer representations in the play—accompanied by principal actor Yi-Hsiu Lee, who gave a live demonstration of various aesthetic strategies deployed in the performance.

Talk: Queer Regionalism Prof. Gayatri Gopinath, Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU and also serves as Director of Asian/Pacific/ American Studies there, gave a lecture based on her book, Impossible De- sires: Queer Desires and South Asian Public Cultures (2005), which remains a vital text in several disciplines across the arts and humanities.

Performance: D’Loco Kid D’Lo is a trans/queer Tamil-Sri Lankan American writer/actor/comedian/ music producer. He has performed and/or facilitated performance and writing workshops internationally. This year, D’Lo became a board member or Brown Boi Project. D’Lo is also the creator of the “Coming Out, Coming Home” writing workshop series which have taken place with South Asian and/or Immigrant Queer Organizations nationally.

BIXBY CENTER FOR POPULATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH The Economics and Market Forces of Sex Work Dr. Manisha Shah, professor at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, gave an engaging lecture that detailed the economic forces that compel women to engage in commercial sex work, as well as the economic forces that keep them there. Dr. Shah’s strong background in International De- velopment, that focuses on health policy specifically, has led her to create a niche in understanding sex work from an economic lens and to work within markets across the world including Mexico, India, and Indonesia.

SOCIOLOGY DEPARTMENT’S GENDER WORKING GROUP Abigail Saguy’s What’s Wrong with Fat? Author-Meets-Critics Because of the “obesity epidemic’s” emergence as a major public health concern in the United States and abroad, scholars, journalists, healthcare officials, and politicians alike are scrambling to discover who or what is responsible for this crisis and what can be done to solve it. In What’s Wrong with Fat? Abigail C. Saguy argues that these fraught debates obscure more important sociological questions: How has fatness come to be understood as a public health crisis at all? Why has the view of fatness as a medical problem and public health crisis come to dominate more positive framings of weight—as consistent with health, beauty, or a legitimate rights claim—in 40 Annual Report 2013-2014 D. Research, Teaching, and Programming

public discourse? Why are heavy individuals singled out for blame? And what are the consequences of understanding weight in these ways? This special event featured a discussion between Saguy, Bianca Wilson (School of Law), Tamara Horwich (School of Medicine), and Ed Walker (Sociology).”

AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES CENTER Heid Erdrich Writer, teacher, and collaborator or visual art, Heid Erdrich is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe and the author or four poetry collections. She featured her most recent endeavor—“Cell Traffic: New and Selected Poems,” which showcases innovative research around the theme of Good Native Governance, with a focus on law, education, and economic development.

HISTORY OF WOMEN, MEN, AND SEXUALITY (HWMS) GROUP, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Redefining Rape, by Estelle B. Freedman “Redefining Rape: Sexual Violence in the Era of Suffrage and Segregation” tells the story of the forces that have shaped the meaning of sexual violence in the United States, through the experiences of accusers, assailants, and advocates for change. In this ambitious new history, Estelle Freedman demonstrates that our definition of rape has depended heavily on dynamics of political power and social privilege. Freedman narrated the victories, defeats, and limitations of these and other reform efforts. The modern civil rights and feminist movements, she pointed out, continue to grapple with both the insights and the dilemmas of these first campaigns to redefine rape in American law and culture.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Sex Workers Unite: A History of the Movement from Stonewall to Slutwalk In conjunction with the UCLA Department of History, the CSW invited Dr. Melinda Chateauvert, Fellow at the Center for Africana Studies at Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, to recount an engaging history of sex worker activism ranging from Stonewall to Slutwalks. The book Sex Workers Unite: A History of the Movement from Stonewall to Slutwalk presents, “a provocative history that reveals how sex workers have been at the vanguard of social justice movements for the past fifty years while building a movement of their own that challenges our ideas about labor, sexuality, feminism, and freedom.” 41 Annual Report 2013-2014 The eugenics redlining of racial and Science Fictions SCIENCE sexual outsiders in US immigration In an effort to understand how eugenics (the science of improving a human FICTIONS policy, its history, and our resistance population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable A lecture by NANCY ORDOVER heritable characteristics) informs US immigration policies—its history, as Dr. Nancy Ordover is the author of American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism (University of Minnesota Press, 2003).

Doby Distinguished Lecture As the 25th US Secretary of Labor (2009 - 2013) under the Obama administration, Hilda Solis became the first Hispanic woman to serve as a US Sponsored by the Gary B. Nash Chair, UCLA Center for the Study of Women, and UCLA History Department’s History of Women, Men, and Sexuality Emphasis cabinet secretary, as well as the first Hispanic Secretary of Labor. As the US Secretary of Labor, Solis was lauded for her “strict enforcement of job safety regulations and aggressive pursuit of wage and hour violators.” Prior to her career pinnacle as a cabinet member, however, Solis earned the respect of her colleagues and constituents during her service in US House of Repre- sentatives (2001- 2009), the California Senate (1994 - 2001), and California State Assembly (1992- 1994). CSW was honored to welcome Hilda Solis to speak to the UCLA community, in conjunction with the UCLA Academic Advancement Program (AAP), as part of the Dr. Winston C. Doby Lecture Series. According to Dr. Charles J. Alexander, Director AAP, “The Honor- able Hilda Solis represents the spirit and values of Dr. Winston Doby. She is the first from her family to attend college, has been an advocate for low- income and first generation students who desire to attend college, and has been a strong proponent for those who are undocumented. We applaud her stance on social justice issues that have impacted the type of student that AAP serves and supports.”

CENTER FOR JEWISH STUDIES Out from the Shadows: Biblical Women in the Persian Period Center for the Jewish Studies invited Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Ph.D., a Professor of Bible at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion and a Professor of Judaic Studies at USC. She is the first woman to have been appointed to the Rabbinical Faculty in HUC’s long history (beginning in 1875). She is the winner of The Jewish Book of the Year Award for her role as editor of The Torah: A Women’s Commentary (with Andrea L. Weiss, 2008), and The Jewish Book Award in Women’s Studies for her JPS Bible Commentary: Ruth (with Tikva Frymer-Kensky, 2012). Her other books include In an Age of Prose: A Literary Approach to Ezra-Nehemiah. 42 Annual Report 2013-2014 CENTER FOR INDIA AND SOUTH ASIA De Sidere 7: Desire’s Vexed Status Organized by Center for India and South Asia, this event featured a film screening by filmmake Nicolas Grandi and a lecture by Lata Mani. The film, De Sidere 7, is an experimental work that interweaves performance, dance, poetry, storytelling and text to reflect upon aspects of desire. Shot in Bangalore and Delhi, the film scripts the work of five performing artists into a “sensorially” rich meditation on desire’s vexed status as at once, animating force, object of suspicion and ground of contention. De Sidere 7 is con- ceived as a “videocontemplation: a formally plural, multilayered composi- tion intended to be experienced as an integrated whole.”

LGBT CAMPUS RESOURCE CENTER Janet Mock Trans woman, a transgender rights activist, author and the former staff editor of People magazine’s website, Janet Mock spoke storytelling and love and living at the intersection of many identities. She discussed her book, Redefining Realness, about her life as a transgender black woman in enter- tainment and media.

DEPARTMENT OF THEATER Young Jean Lee: Performance and Ugly Feelings Karen Shimakawa, Chair of Performance Studies in Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and Adjunct Instructor in the NYU Law School, used Sianne Ngai’s ideas of “ugly feelings” as a way to explicate playwright Young Jean Lee’s work. Examining an ensemble of plays including Beginning with Songs of Dragons Flying to Heaven, The Shipment, We’re Gonna Die, and Untitled Feminist Show, she discussed how they “explore the vexed terrain of race and their imbricated constructions of gender and sexuality in the U.S.”
